Roses

What inspired me to write this is a tatoo my sister has. The tato says COLD in big letters with tons of pretty red roses. She told me before she moved away that some people might be pretty and look nice and well but they can be cold and they will sting. This made me think about my friends and how they're are dating nice looking people but people who just try to use them and all they try to do is cope with the pain. Why cope with the sting of a thorn when you can let go of the thorn and let people support them and bandage the cut?

Does she really know

That all red roses have thorns

If she tries to cope?
